You think your angry now....check out this post I just did on another thread: I don't know. The whole operation is nuts. Tonite a reporter was asking the Army Corp rep how they were doing with the three breaches. The rep said not bad....they had the first one nearly 50% completed. The reporter said great news.......where are they with the other two? The Army rep said they hadn't started working on the other breaches yet. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was stunned. Nonplussed at the reporter's reaction, the rep never gave a very good explanation for why they hadn't started on the other two except to say one was fairly complicated. Mindblowing.......simply mindblowing! And then have you heard about the snafu at the Astrodome?!!

Dec 26, 2004: Guiding Disaster Aid In Post-Sept. 11 Era EXCERPT: James Lee Witt, who ran Arkansas's emergency response office and then took over FEMA in the Clinton administration, urged Congress to keep FEMA independent. "I hear from emergency managers, local and state leaders, and first responders nearly every day that the FEMA they knew and worked well with has now disappeared," he testified in March. "They are suffering the impact of dealing with a behemoth federal department, rather than the small agile independent agency that coordinates federal response effectively and efficiently and understands the needs of its local and state partners." When Witt was director, the job was elevated to Cabinet level. But Brown is an undersecretary in the sprawling new department, which includes 22 agencies. washingtonpost.com
